it illustrates how see something, say something actually works. >> and for the latest developments let's get right to mark segraves live opportunity to, hey, mark. >> reporter: good afternoon. 43-year-old ryan moles of pennsylvania was arrested about 1:00 this morning in his 7th floor hotel room here at the trump hotel. now police say in his car which was in the garage, they found an assault rifle and a handgun as well as 90 rounds of ammunition. what police have not been able to tell us is what his intent was. >> i believe that the officers and our federal partners and in particular the tipster coming forward averted a potential disaster here in our nation's capital. >> reporter: 43-year-old brian moles was arrested without incident inside the trump hotel by d.c. police and secret service agents. police and federal agents moved quickly after receiving a tip from the pennsylvania ste

moles was traveling to d.c. with those weapons after making threats but today police said they don't have enough evidence to charge moles with making threats, only illegal possession of firearms. as for whether he may have been targeting the president, secret service agents say it doesn't appear so. >> the interview was conducted by agents of the washington field office which revealed that he posed no immediate threat to secret service pro techees. >> now we have some new information, apparently there was a second tip that came in when moles checked in to the hotel here this morning, he told the parking valet person that he had guns in his car, that trump hotel employee notified security, security notified secret service. in fact, there were two separate tips, one from pennsylvania and one from an employee here at the hotel. we hope to learn a whole lot more tomorrow when brian moles makes his first appearance in d.c. superior court. >> thank you very much. yan

outside, both there and outside our studios in northwest washington but we do have a chance for some storms again coming tonight. >> chief meteorologist doug kammerer is now in the storm center to tell us what you're tracking. >> right now tracking storms yet again. we had them yesterday afternoon and some of those storms quite strong and even severe yesterday and tracking some thunderstorms mostly toward the south. i want to show you where these storms are. in towards northern virginia now tracking those storms as they make their way out of the mountains. they're near the warrentown area, strongest storm just south of luray right now will move into culpeper county over the next couple hours here. watching this boundary, there's a boun tri that moves right along 66 here so south of this boundary a good chance for strong to potential severe storms. lightning associated with this one. just west of the culpeper region and as these move

enhancement of these storms over the next couple of hours. once again part of a line that's being moving toward the east and we do expect this one to kickoff some more showers and thunderstorms, even another line back toward the west and could also bring in some storms overnight tonight. we'll let you know exactly what time. we'll have much more throughout the rest of the evening. >> thank you very much. here's a look at top stories we're covering at this hour. antidomestic violence advocates or meeting with lawmakers in prince george's county. they're trying to find ways to close a legal loophole that may be putting abuse survivors at risk. >> nbc news president trump is leaning toward pulling out of the global deal to cut greenhouse gas emissions. he had threatened to do so during the campaign. virginia governor terry mccullough blasted the move even before its been made. >> this is so idiotic that the president's pulling out of this paris accord. think about this

every nation in the globe has signed on to this agreement except for two, in this case roggia and syria so now president trump is put us in the category with syria and in this case roggia. >> reporters pressed sean spicer for details on what the president plans to do with the agreement. blayne alexander is tracking the story for us. so what's the latest from the white house? >> reporter: the very latest is just stand by. earlier today this morning, in fact, president trump himself tweeted that he's very close to announcing his decision on the paris climate agreement and he's expecting that decision to come any day now, but as you mention, nbc news is already reporting that according to sources inside of the white house, trump is leaning that way. he is leaning toward removing the u.s. from that agreement. now this is something that a lot of people are watching very closely, already some republicans have said, yes they would support that move but you're hearing an overwhelming cry from not only democrats

this is not the move to make. many of them have signed on urging the president to stay in that agreement and within just the past hour or so, ceo of tesla saying that he would take himself off of the president's ceo advisory panel if president trump did make the decision to leave that agreement. now again, sources saying that he's leaning toward getting out but again as we know nothing is officially official until it comes you don't of the president's mouth and no decision has been made but we're waiting for that any day now. >> i also want to ask you about this kathy griffin story. cnn has said it's cut ties with her. she's apologized for the video in which she held up this gruesome head that appear to resemble the president's what is the white house's reaction. >> reporter: i want to talk about the larger reaction, the widespread reaction. regardless of what side of the political spectrum you come down, many people are outraged saying it crossed the line and it's just completely wrong and out of touch and just

the white house president trump tweeted about this this morning saying that his family, his children, especially his 11-year-old son barron was very disturbed by this having a hard time with this, calling it sick and we even heard from former first daughter chelsea clinton who is on the complete opposite side, it's never funny to joke about killing a president. pat. >> i think most people agree with you. thank you so much. >> we have team coverage on the social media backlash to this kathy griffin controversy. >> i retweeted president trump who sparked a bizarre social media stir by tweeting a mysterious word. wendy rieger is at the live desk with more, covfefe. >> we want to start with the kathy griffin story. this has sparked all sorts of backlash. republicans, democrats, everyone in between, everyone, everyone. the first lady's words were perhaps the most poignant in a statement melania, as a

you consider some of the atrocities happening in the world today a photo opportunity like this is simply wrong and it makes you wonder about the mental health of the person who did it. the president said that their 11-year-old son barron saw the imagine and took it particularly hard. now let's go to the word that has the whole country scratching its head, covfefe it originally showed up in a midnight tweet from the president which has since been removed. the word has sparked all sorts of memes on social media. the president himself sent out a second tweet asking people to figure out the word. some are wondering why that post was up for six hours before it was taken down. others are questioning how secure the president's personal phone is and whether it can be hacked. back to you. >> thank you very much. a new medical procedure promised the same results as lasik with fewer side effects but it'

that teens are not engaging in sex. it could mean that they are just using contraceptives more often and are sexually active. parents that i talked to they're still worried because they think that a lot of young people may still be engaging in some of that risky behavior. >> it can affect a lot of your options going forward in terms of school and work. i've got three kids, what do the experts say in terms of what we should do as parents. >> the key here is staying engaged. as a parent instead of being someone who is more of a hands off kind of parent. at this critical time when kids are making decisions that as you said are going to affect folks for a long time. i spoke with dr. jerry dyson today she's a position who deals with adolescence and she tells me as kids work through some adult level decisions during an important season in their lives, parents should be mindful of how they may be unintentionally contributing to decisions that

similar to lasik with some big advantages. dr. john torres is here to tell us how it works. i had lasik done about 18 years ago. how is this different? >> the way it's different is it's essentially a smaller procedure and that's the big thing about this whole procedure, this whole surgery. it's called smile which stands for small incision and that's a huge name for basically saying they make a small incision in the cornea and pull out part of that cornea which flattens down which let's people see better. that's different than lasik that puts a flap in there. this gets around those issues and it's mainly for people that have conditions like dry eye where they can't get lasik or they have issues where they might be doing sports or other things where they could get hit in the eye and lasik could cause problems. this procedure, just fda approved and just now commercially available is being done in a few places around the country. it's probably going to expand

approved for those who are nearsighted and do not have a stigmatism. but the doctors say they think it'll be approved for more people very shortly and that will be expanded and opened up to more. "nbc nightly news" with lester holt we'll actually see a patient, talk to tina who had the surgery done and had fantastic results from it. >> so, doctor, relief from dry eye is one of the advantages. what are some of the others and what are the disadvantages of this particular procedure? >> so some of the other advantages are that you get a quicker more -- quicker healing. it takes a couple weeks to fully heal. once it heels it gets around some of those issues that have the halo and glare that people complain about. for people that are involved in sports, the opthalmologist are saying this is a better procedure because if you do get hit in the eye with something, that flap has the potential to come loose. with this procedure that's not going to happen. if people have thin corneas this is another procedure they want to look at.

is basically one procedure they have among many and now the smile procedure that they can pick and choose which one works best for the patient and that way the patient's getting the best treatment for them. >> quick question, how much does it cost compared to lasik? >> and that's the big question everybody has right now. it's not covered by insurance much like lasik because it's an elected procedure. the doctors are saying it's around 3 to $5,000 per eye which is similar to what happened when lasik first came out. they expect it to drop in price overtime as more of these procedures are being done and this is one of those things that over the next few years, i think you'll see a lot more doctors doing it. internationally it's been done since 2009, tens of thousands of people have had this surgery with fantastic results. >> all right. thank you very much. it's great insight. great news for folks -- >> like us. >> maybe ready to give up the contacts. you can learn a lot more about this new eye procedure as he mentioned tonight on "nbc nightly news" at 7:00. that's coming up right aft
